japanese sewing books

I went crazy for Japanese sewing books lately. I had to order this Umami fabric bag book. The book is mainly in Japanese, but the patterns in the back are so well drawn that you can figure things out quite easy.
I love the clean and simple way of the designs.
Other than that, I am in the midst of workshop preparations, setting the dates, running around for supplies, catching up with orders and making new stuff. I had 2 of the workshops so far, still very excited, but it's so much fun and I love to teach.
Mekuftarot , a beautiful Israeli brand just started to sell my bags. Go and check it out...it's still all just in Hebrew, but the design, photos and typography are outstanding.

Obožujem japonske knjige o šivanju in ročnih delih. Tole knjigo sem si morala kupiti in že sanjam o tem, kako preplesti njihov enostaven in čist dizajn z eno od mojih uokvirjenih torbic. Knijiga je sicer napisana v japonščini, vendar pa dobra fotografija in detajlno narisani kroji pomagajo pri dokaj enostavnem razumevanju napisanega.
Poleg tega sem v vrtincu delavnic, pripravljanje, telefonski pogovori, iskanje sestavin in zraven šivanje rednih naročil in risanjem novih modelov. Do sedaj smo imeli že dve delavnici. Še vedno sem vsa ekstatična, ampak imamo se krasno in všeč mi je, ko lahko predam znanje naprej.
Mekuftarot (nerodno prevedeno - zagumbnjene), lepa izraelska znamka, je začela prodajati moje izdelke. Stran je še vedno le v hebrejskem jeziku, vendar so fotografije in oblika vredni ogleda.
